Sorrento and the sea play a perfect background for any photos thanks to the bright colors, picturesque mountains and lush greenery. Wonderful sunny weather and welcoming locals will bless your wedding with warmth and positive cheerful atmosphere.

You will need a photographer, and we are always ready to offer you our top professionals. However, no matter how good the photographer, a lot depends on how professionally you yourself “work” during the photo or videoshoot.

Use our tips and enjoy your photos:

Do not pose for the photographer, move naturally and freely

Smile, smile and smile! Genuine smiles are the best decorations for your photos.

Close your eyes when you kiss – it looks better in the photos

Don’t hurry, move smoothly, act without rush

Keep your posture, don’t slouch!

Forget your troubles, free yourself from care and get happy for the day – there are people for you to take care about everything else

Tips for the bride

Beautiful puffy dresses look great and gracious but don’t forget that in summer this outfit is too hot to wear in Italy. Keep that in mind and give preference to light and comfortable dresses.

Buy a stable pair of shoes as you will have to walk through cobblestone streets. This is not the type of pavement suitable for high stiletto heels. As an option, you might have a special comfy pair of shoes for your photoshoot only.

Don’t use hair spray or makeup with glitter or sparkle as in the photos it turns out to be looking as dandruff and greasy spots, use matte makeup for professional photos. As for the lips, it is better to use matte lipstick, because shining lipstick makes your lips look shapeless and inexpressive in the photos.

Don’t forget to take powder and matting napkins to wipe your face if it gets shiny in the hot sun, especially if you have your wedding between July and September.

For shooting wedding preparations, look at the rooms you are going to use. It may seem obvious, but in fact, it always ends up showing wardrobe hangers and clothes scattered around, and those are definitely not the best background for your photos. You could remove those during the shoot, but isn’t it better to save time and do your room beforehand.

Photoshoot at the wedding ceremony

When exchanging rings, move elegantly, don’t rush, keep the rings open for the photographer to take good photos of them. Remember, the photographer and camera man need some time to shoot this memorable moment from various angles. And smile whatever happens, even if the ring is tight and you feel afraid it might slip, just smile!

Signing your marriage certificate do not lean on the table too low, or you’ll have to enjoy the backs of your heads on your photos only. Mind, you won’t have another chance to shoot this moment! When your other half puts their signature on the document, keep smiling, as you are going to be in the focus as well as them.

After all those official proceedings, exchange a beautiful kiss!
